Always Keep Simming - Romantic Night Fail & Epic Parties In Space

Always Keep Simming - Romantic Night Fail & Epic Parties in Space

What had started out as a romantic evening out in the Blackburn’s backyard, followed by a workout session for Colin, turned into Colin’s nightmare. Strange lights appeared at the edge of their property and before Colin could intervene, Aileen had already stepped into the light and was abducted into space. The Aliens loved to interfere with the Watcher‘s plans for their sims and after being mischievous and pranking poor tourists, Karma striked Aileen. Even the Watcher was helpless and quite literally had to watch the abduction with Colin (with a similar facial expression). Hours passed. The kids were sleeping, Colin was up with the cats and waiting nervously. He knew scientists had a higher risk of being abducted but this hadn’t occurred in decades. The cats were nervous too and very clingy.

Aileen came back home at 3 a.m. She was completely untroubled! In fact, she told Colin about the epic intergalactic party she had attended in space. Thankfully, none of the Aliens had tried to impregnate her… 🫣 Colin was happy she was back and embraced her tightly. He was glad she’d had fun of course but in his research on the occults, he had read about shady business dealings in space, especially in a place called Batuu… (Yes, Aileen had taken part in those dealings herself when she’d been to Batuu and had even made some “friends” such as Kylo Ren..). Aileen would have to be a little more careful not to become a test subject herself. Next day at work, she immediately prevented abductions.

They fell asleep cuddling 💕

things are getting.. witchy!

Aww look!! I found 2 beautiful babies... that look awfully familiar

Always Keep Simming - Toddler Play Dates!

Gavin and Gemma found two new friends- Jonathan and Penny from Newcrest! They got along well immediately and played all afternoon in Magnolia Blossom Park. Aileen joined them a bit later as she had to work late. Nonetheless, the family enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, the kids didn’t want to leave (Gemma was fussing a lot but her dad’s embrace fixed everything as per usual 😌).

Side Note: I’m watching the kids behavior closely. Gemma is messy, chaotic, a trouble maker, an absolute diva but also clingy and mentally gifted. Gavin is not mischievous, he’s a literal angel and creatively gifted. But, he’s her partner in crime and joins in on the chaos - only to support her (but he then feels guilty and cries 🥹). I’m loving this duo and can’t wait to see how their personalities will develop (and what storyline I’ll spin off of that hehe)..

Get ready for Simblr Bingo!

Simblr Bingo is a week-long event themed around community and engagement. The goal is to send as many asks, leave as many comments, and reblog as many posts as possible in a one-week time span.

To help you on your way, you'll get a unique Bingo Card with a variety of different challenges. For example, you might be tasked with Sending an anonymous ask to a mutual or reblogging a post featuring an elder Sim. Your goal is to complete as many challenges as you can and rack up the bingos!

How to Participate

It's simple! To get your bingo card, click here, then click "Play" and then "Player." Starting on Sunday, October 6th, post a screenshot of your bingo card with #simblr bingo (and link back to this post, if you can!)

Throughout the week, keep your eye out for chances to complete goals and mark off spaces on your card. You can either edit your downloaded card in an image editor or mark off your completed goals on the bingo website (be sure to bookmark your card!)

Rules for playing

No double-dipping! There might be some overlap in some of your challenges (for example, you might have squares that say Reblog a piece of CAS CC and Reblog your favorite hair) but you can only complete 1 objective at a time. To mark both as complete, you'll need to reblog 2 posts.

Spread the love! Try to engage with as many different people as possible. You might be able to complete your whole bingo card by going through the archives of a few friends and mutuals, but that's a lot less fun than seeking out new people to engage with.

Be nice! A few of the challenges say specifically to compliment someone on something, but that doesn't mean you can be a hater for the rest of the prompts. Focus on spreading positivity.

Can I generate a second card?

Yes! Follow the steps above, but open the card in a private window.

Are there any themed bingo cards for specific simblr genres?

What a specific and leading question! Yes! Below the cut, I've made a royal simblr bingo card featuring challenges specific to royal simblr. If you'd like to make a card dedicated to your favorite genre, follow the instructions on the website and send me the link. I'll edit the post to include your link!

Ready...set...bingo!

Tips for making a themed bingo

Check out the Simblr Bingo Starter List

Come up with different prompts and challenges for each category (asks, comments, reblogs). A good bingo game needs around 75 items to ensure all players have unique cards.

I tried for 30 ask prompts, 30 comment prompts, and 15 reblog prompts. I want to encourage people to actively engage with one-another versus only reblogging.

Try to include prompts that encourage people to talk to new people, engage with new stuff, and seek out to posts that get less attention.

Keep it positive! Focus on spreading positivity and making it fun for everyone.

~If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!~

I’m once again a bit behind (setting up everything for my kitten & therapy is kicking my 🍑😅) but I’m always happy to participate in these ask/tag games thank you 🫶🏻

1. English is not my native language. But half of my family lives in the US, I read in English, watch films in English, sometimes I dream in English as well 🤣 anyways if my grammar is weird sometimes, you know why 🙈

2. I hate extreme temperatures, especially the heat. It’s ironic as my family is Mediterranean, so when we fly to our homeland it’s always hot but thankfully the ocean is always super cold - so that’s where I’ll be 😅

3. My favorite sweets is ice-cream 💕 (vegan) As a kid I used to dream of owning my own fridge and eating only ice-cream for every meal 😂
